Grease Bearings, Bushings and Gear Box
The cutting unit must be lubricated regularly. If machine
is operated under normal conditions, lubricate castor
bearings and bushings with No. 2 general purpose lithi-
um base grease or molybdenum base grease, after ev-
ery 8 hours of operation or daily, whichever comes first.
Lubricate fittings immediately after every washing, re-
gardless of the interval listed.
1. The cutting unit has bearings and bushings that
must be lubricated, and these lubrication points are:
front castor shaft bushings (2), blade spindle bearings
(3), gage wheels (2), idler arm pivot and right and left
push arm ball joints (Fig. 14).
2. Position the machine and cutting unit on a level sur-
face and lower cutting unit. Remove check plug from
side of gear box and make sure lubricant is up to bottom
of hole. If level of lubricant is low, remove fill plug on top
of gear case and add SAE 80–90 wt. gear lube until level
is up to bottom of hole in side.
